My wife was complaining that seeing whilst night driving was getting difficult. ends up these new fangled plastic headlights fog up with time. So here's the fix. I decided to do my headlights at the same time.

Step 4: What you'll need, and what to do

Dip the 800 grit sand paper into the soapy water and start wet sanding the headlights in a circular motion, be sure to keep dipping the paper into the water. Do this until you get bored. Wash with clean water

Then step up to the 1500 grit, repeat.

Chuck a cheap cotton buffing wheel into your electric drill, and pour the Brasso into a shallow dish. Dip the buffing wheel into the brasso, and then start buffing the headlight, keep the wheel moving, you don't want to stay in anyone spot too long, and keep refreshing the brasso on the wheel, don't let it dry out. When you get really board with this, give up, no use being a darned fool about it.

At this point take a clean rag and wash the brasso off with the soapy water. Wipe everything dry. NOW use the plastic polish and, maybe you headlight will look better.

The easy way to do this is with self-polishing floor wax. You will be surprised how well this works. Clean the headlight, wipe the wax on with a paper towel, and let it dry. You're done! Self-polishing floor wax is tough stuff. Heck, it's meant to be walked on. If you don't like it, or you want to renew the coating, just remove the wax with some ammonia.
